Pretty much a regular
ML dogs: 30-44, 40.54%, +10.855 units
I'm looking for the Pistons tomorrow...what I play will depend on the number, and catching 7 or 8, it ought to be tolerable.....if it gets bet down a couple, I may not bother with it.
............whoh. Out already. Welp, okay.
Pistons +252
I think One of two things will happen...Either the Pistons will compete and have at least a 50/50 shot at the win, or they will start slow, let Dallas put up 40 in the 1st, and they'll be completely fucking blown out....that's not to say the points are useless, but the considerations aren't quite the same for my ML thinkings...situationally, you gotta believe the pistons will want redemption after the skullfucking they took from the blazers the other night.......yes, a homeloss (even just 2pt) to Portland's nba franchise qualifies as a skullfucking...
as for spreads....
last night 3-3, +.43 units
....really not thrilled with the fucking ass nuggets folding up tents in the 3rd and letting what should have been a tired Hawks team not only cover......but win outright....which, face it, we saw coming once they got it within 6 and the nugs did NOTHING to counteract the run. missed layups...missed FTs....

year: 25-20-3, 52.08%, +10.524 units
Suns -3.5 +102 & +105
Kings -6 +115
I hit these about the time the nuggets finished shitting themselves but before they were able to clean up...If the number at Heat +6 gets appreciably positive, I may well buy out of that one........Kings SHOULD get home and feel the need to redeem themselves against a supposedly weaker Heat team. I like that team, especially at home, but I'm not so sure I'm liking the game enough to keep money on it...
Especially on a Thursday.
The Suns, tho, while I hate to be on the other side of the master(s?), I will not get off of. I like this team for vengeance, for Amare getting back to form, for the Nets' players being too bored with their own individual greatness to bother playing hard...
I will take the Suns -damn near anything over 6 against perhaps they laziest damned team in this league. Carter, Jefferson, and Kidd should have more respect for themselves than to let a team with that sort talent lose so often and so spectacularly.
The Nets seem to win enough for the core of the team and the coach to not get traded and fired...and that's it. I've seen flashes of superhuman greatness........like VC has a shitty game until he feels screwed by the refs and he makes a 3pt shot at the end that was actually a massive BRICK....but because of the new ball and some divine intervention, he tied the game up with it...but beyond that......this team doesn't care. They know it's a job.
Most teams don't temper their competitive spirit that much, and the Suns are going to run all damn night...they embarrassed the Kings spectacularly the other night...and while the 3s were pretty, it was really the interior domination that did it......and the Nets don't have a quick interior to match up. Amare, Marion, Diaw, Thomas....these guys will twist and turn all over Krstic...Kidd ain't one anymore, and he can't run with Nash for half the night......and then there's Barbosa.
I just don't see how the Nets match up favorably most anywhere.
Now, perhaps the Suns have an off night. Or perhaps Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, and Krstic outshoot the Suns. Fine. That'll happen sometimes. But when I ask myself, okay redbearde, who do you take in a shootout between the Nets and the Suns, I pick the Suns to win by DD every damn day. It may not win every day, but I think it's more likely to than no, and as we like to tell the timid in the choir, sin(g) boldly! So I will boldly sell points as much as I can (or could a few hours ago) and take the Suns for all they're worth - a standard wager.
.........................or I could be completely wrong.
BAR is smarter than I am, so you might consider his opinion much more than mine.

We are just east of Harrisburg, PA tonight....for all none of you keeping track.
